I have several books on making soft jewelry and I consider this to be the best. The patterns are clear and easy to follow, the photos are colorful, and it is the only one that has instructions for creating your own beads from clay and wallpaper. I heartily recommed it for all those who want to make their own jewelry

while not as well photographed as more modern craft books-this is one of the best books around if you want to learn to make jewelry from fabric. If you're like me and love artsy, fun, offbeat projects then you'll love this book. And you certainly will love how cheap you can get it used here on Amazon:)

4.5 stars!

I'm quite thrilled with this book. It's well put together, with easy to understand instructions. My only complaint, which is minor, really, is that the only actual photographs are of the finished items. Instructions are hand drawn images. However, this book is well worth adding to one's collection. I've made several pieces so far, and am pleased at how they turned out. This book has also inspired me to create some original designs of my own.

The projects in this book are clearly and concisely presented. Even better, they're actually items you'd want to make--either as gifts or as "rainy day" activities for children. A wonderfully imaginative book and really essential for the crafters' library!
